Divide a string in N equal parts in C++ Program


In this tutorial, we are going to write a program that divides the given string into N equal parts.

If we can't divide the string into N equal parts, then print the same thing. Let's see the steps to solve the problem.

  • Initialize the string and N.

  • Find the length of the string using the size method.

  • Check whether the string can be divided into N parts or not.

  • If string can't divide into N equal parts, then print a message.

  • Else iterate through the string and print each part.

Example

Let's see the code.

 Live Demo

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
void divideTheString(string str, int n) {
   int str_length = str.size();
   if (str_length % n != 0) {
      cout << "Can't divide string into equal parts" << endl;
      return;
   }
   int part_size = str_length / n;
   for (int i = 0; i < str_length; i++) {
      if (i != 0 && i % part_size == 0) {
         cout << endl;
      }
      cout << str[i];
   }
   cout << endl;
}
int main() {
   string str = "abcdefghij";
   divideTheString(str, 5);
   return 0;
}

Output

If you execute the above program, then you will get the following result.

ab
cd
ef
gh
ij
